The first official Mactweets due date is here! I know, crazy to be making macs right before the holidays, right smack dab in the middle of all the holiday baking, but so goes the passion! I know that some of you have already posted your macarons, and heaven knows that Deeba and Jamie are trying to keep track so as not to miss one Mac Maker for the round up, but please leave a comment here with the link back to your Mac Post so you can be sure to be counted in the round up.
I'll lead the way with my holiday macs to be nibbled while sipping champagne! Macs with mousse de foie gras + fig jam + crushed speculoos, Macs with fresh goat cheese + dark cherry jam + pistachios and finally Macs filled with luscious Lemon Mascarpone Goat Cheese and raspberries.

Decided to experiment with flavours and made my very first tea macarons - Red Fruits Infusion & Matcha (Green Tea) Macarons. They are both sublime.

I totally forgot today was deadline day, I totally meant to make another attempt, for the final write up, but I guess Christmas got a little bit in the way!
ReplyDeleteSo here is my quick update on my first footed macarons! Thanks MacTweets!

@Deb Mele, I always have that problem with blogspot based blogs, normally if you hit the "Post Comment" button a couple of times - ignoring the error, it works. Don't ask me why though!
ReplyDeleteI think I made it by the skin of my teeth!
